.....”Robertson is a deficit hawk, but his policy agenda is hardly ripped from the GOP platform. He favors tax increases, especially on the wealthy, as a way of shrinking the deficit. In a 2009 CNBC interview, Robertson called George W. Bush's post-9/11 tax cuts "awful," and criticized Obama for not raising taxes.

Robertson also has a big-government environmentalist streak. He sits on the board of the Environmental Defense Fund, and he has hired K Street lobbyists (including now-Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind.) to advance the Warner-Lieberman bill that would have capped industrial emissions of greenhouse gasses -- in effect a tax on burning coal and oil.”....

...”Miguel Fernandez of Miami has succeeded in health-care investing in recent years, and last July he gave $1 million to Restore Our Future ---half from his own pocket, and half from an account of his called MBF Family Investments.

While Romney publicly denies he's a liberal Republican, he apparently hasn't convinced Fernandez of this. Before giving $1 million to Romney's super-PAC, Fernandez split much of his money between Democrats and liberal Republicans who faced conservative opponents........... in the 2010 cycle, Fernandez spent some money against the Tea Party: When conservative Marco Rubio announced in 2009 he was running against liberal Republican Gov.

Fernandez is mostly on the Republican team, and he eventually funded Rubio and John McCain in their general elections, but he has also funded his share of Democrats, including the presidential bids of Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson and the Senate runs of Bob Menendez (N.J.), Bill Nelson (Fla.), Bob Graham (Fla.) and Mark Warner (Va.)......
